“I want my kids to know when I’m pissed, when I’m happy and when I’m confounded,” the actress said. “Your face tells a story and it shouldn’t be a story about your drive to the doctor’s office.”

“It’s unfortunate that we live in such a panicked, dysmorphic society where women don’t even give themselves a chance to see what they’ll look like as older persons,” … “I want to have some idea of what I’ll look like before I start cleaning the slates.”

We here at ISS aren’t on the Julia Roberts love train, but I do want to give her props for letting nature take its course. I’m sure it’s easier to say “no” to botox when you’re still looking fresh and vibrant at 42 than when you’re old and wrinkled at 65, but when so many young starlets are already filling in their facesat 20 it almost seems rare for an actress to not use botox at 42. And where has Julia Roberts’ ability to use facial expressions gotten her? Well, she is one of the highest paid actresses in Hollywood.

Stacey: While I would like to give her props for this, you know she is saying this looking down her nose at the ladies that have chosen to do this.  She isn’t saying it because she is being nice about it, no no, she is saying it because she thinks she is better than those other women.  While I agree with her in principal, I think she was saying it to put others in their “place”.  Sorry, but this is another check in the “reasons to dislike Julia Roberts” column.
